Chapter 16, Problem 16.10P
If the water table in Problem 16.9 drops down to 0.25 m below the foundation level, what would be the change in the factor of safety for the same gross allowable load?
16.9 A square footing is shown in Figure 16.18. Determine the gross allowable load, Qall, that the footing can carry. Use Terzaghi’s equation for general shear failure (Fs = 4). Given: γ = 17 kN/m3, γsat = 19.2 kN/m3, c′ = 32 kN/m3,

- A strip footing for a masonry wall is 1.1 m wide and is supported by the soil profile shown in the figure. What design loading can be imposed on the strip footing per meter of length? Use a factor of safety of 3. Ignore the depth factor terms in the bearing capacity calculations. However, you do want to compute the net bearing capacity, so you need to account for the weight of material removed in constructing the footing. To do this assume that the removed weight is equal to the depth of the footing multiplied by the unit weight of the upper soil.
